Attack Vector: Tactical
Attack Vector: Tactical (AV:T) is a space combat wargame published by Ad Astra Games.Some factors, unusual to the genre of space combat games, that AV:T includes: Beyond its physics model, it is notable for being one of the few wargames that attempts true three dimensional movement.AV:T handles three dimensionality with several play aids, such as the Attitude/Vector Information Display (AVID), which is a color-coded polar projection of a sphere fixed relative to the hexmap handling sighting angles and ship orientation for thrust, the Range/Angle Lookup Table (RALT), which is a table of the Pythagorean Theorem that's been color-coded to reflect bearing angles used by the AVID, and tilt blocks, box miniatures and stacking tiles for on-map display of ship orientation.Different sets of routes each require a specific variation of the device, limiting the effective range of any given interstellar craft.All these factors combine to eliminate its effect on gameplay, making it similar to the Alderson Drive of Jerry Pournelle's CoDominium Universe.
